Avarage CPU load during the last 10 minutes, 60 minutes, 1440 minutes

If I understand you correctly you want to check every five minutes
what the CPU load was during the past 24 hours? Well, although I'm not
really sure how this might be an interesting figure, you'd just enter:

./check_nt -H 192.168.1.1 -p 1248 -v CPULOAD -l 1440,80,95

May I advise you to read the readme file thet comes with NSClient?
This comes from that file:

CPULoad

Syntax: check_nt -H <hostname> -p <port> -v CPULOAD -l <minutes
range>,<warning percent>,<critical percent>

     <minutes range> between 1 and 1440 (24 hours)
     <warning percent> and <critical percent> : thresholds between 1
and 100.

You can check several intervals in one shot. The follwing command get
the average for the last 10min., 60min. and 24hours.

Example:
./check_nt -H 192.168.1.1 -p 1248 -v CPULOAD -l
10,80,95,60,80,95,1440,80,95
